Each of the graduates received a bachelor of science degree in resort and hospitality management. The three-year KRSM program blends theory with intensive paid work experiences called co-ops, which challenge students to apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings.

Interim GMC president Tom Mauhs-Pugh told the graduates: “You came to Green Mountain College to learn business skills, to gain a profession, and a way to make a living in a context you love. And I trust that you have gained all that. But along the way, you also immersed yourself in a culture that drew no artificial boundaries between the learning of the classroom and of business, professional and personal. You gained one of the rarest of educations, a holistic education focused on developing you as a person.”

The KSRM graduate employment rate is nearly 100 percent, with over 90 percent of graduates staying within the resort and hospitality field.
